The Warsaw Rising Museum, opened in 2004, is housed in the historic former tram power station in the Wola district. It is one of the most visited museums in Poland, dedicated to the 1944 uprising and the fate of the inhabitants of the fighting city.
The exhibition engages all the senses: sounds, photographs, films, reconstructions and hundreds of personal mementos recreate the atmosphere of those days. It helps you understand the history of Warsaw – and it is worth visiting with friends so you can talk about it afterwards.
What to do here
- Walk through the main exhibition and listen to the sounds of insurgent Warsaw
- See replicas and mementos from 1944
- Visit the nearby Freedom Park
- Leave time to talk after your visit
